In My Arms
Chapter 1: Without you
His long silver hair danced with the slow moving wind. Inuyasha turned to look at his exhausted friends, who were resting from their previous battle with another of Nuraku's minions. Songo was trying her best to comfort the feverish Miroku after he had sucked poisonous insects into his wind tunnel. Inuyasha though wasn't so worried though seeing as he was up to his usual tricks. WHACK! The sound of a smack on bare skin echoed throughout the forest. 'Ha! He deserved it.' Inuyasha thought to himself.
His thoughts were brought to another when he herd a soft sad sound. Kagome was cooking ramen for dinner while Shippo danced around her blabbing about something. Her mind seemed to be focused on something else though because she was 'humming'? She was wounded by Kagura's wind and without the blood on her shirt she would seem almost normal.
Flashback
"Ahhh!"
Songo winced in pain as Kohoku struck her with his weapon. She would not fight him. She could not do it. She would not kill the only family she had left,
"Little brother! Why?!"
Songo tried to stand pushing herself off of the ground. She stood thrusting her sword into the air to block her brothers attack. It wrapped around her sword and she threw it to the ground rushing to her brother.
'Without his weapon...' she thought, 'he is no danger.'
She embraced him as he struggled to get away.
"Little brother, PLEASE why are you doing this?"
A hored of demons came towards the two.
"Songo!" Miroku yelled for her to defend herself. "Hurry they are coming closer!"
"No! We will die together!"
Songo grasped Kohaku even tighter. 'I will not let you die alone.'
"NO!" Miroku jumped in front of the two siblings and pulled the beads from his right hand.
"WIND TUNNEL!" He sucked one demon after another into the dark hole. Demons were crying out in pain and terror as their bodies were being torn apart.
"MIROKU the poisonous insects!" Inuyasha yelled to Miroku as he fell to one knee in pain placing the beads back around his hand.
"I didn't notice" he said sarcastically.
"Inuyasha! More demons!" Kagome yelled pointing to the advancing dark cloud.
"Taaake this!" Inuyasha thrust Tetsaiga into a youkai's body turning it to dust. He thrust it once more hitting even more this time.
"There is too many!" Kagome shouted as another one of her sacred arrows went soaring past Inuyasha.
"Kagome you stay back!" Inuyasha demanded. He landed heavily on the ground next to her, protecting her.
"You can not do this alone." She plainly stated.
"Well I can't do anything without you. So stay back!" Inuyasha jumped up again to slice through more demons.
'Did he just say what I think he said?' Kagome blushed, 'Inuyasha....' Her thoughts were interrupted as she noticed a bunch of demons heading toward her injured friends. "NO!" Kagome ran in front of them and sliced through the demons with her arrow, destroying much of the demons that came into this fight.
"I have had enough of you wench!" Kagura let her fan fling towards Kagome piercing her side with blades of wind.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled destroying the more of the demons that were with Kagura and Kohaku.
Watching his beloved Kagome fall to the ground. Her hair swayed her eyes flickered with pain. The scent of Kagome's blood furiated him. Smelling out the wind scar he thrust Tetsaiga into the air. It sliced the ground with flames injuring Kagura. She took out a feather and wind surrounded all of the group, blurring their vision. When the wind disapeared Kagura and Kohaku had escaped on the giant feather.
"No!" Songo screamed.
Inuyasha rushed to Kagome's side, pulling her into his arms. "Kagome are you Ok?"
"Ai." She started, "I'm all right. Just, Just...."
"Ya, go on."
"Your crushing me." she explained.
Inuyasha loosened his grip and looked around at his companions. Miroku was comforting the weeping Songo and Shippo was coming out of his hiding place behind the bolder. Kirara was finishing off the last of the demons. Inuyasha looked back down at his precious Kagome. He could not help but feel guilty. He thought 'If I could have killed Kagura earlier she would not be hurt in my arms, 'In my arms...'
FLASHBACK END
"Well if any one is hungry, dinner is done" Kagome handed a bowl to Shippo as he smiled happily and gave some noodles to Kilala. Miroku sat up as Songo handed him a bowl and ate from her own.
Kagome walked over and sat by Inuyasha handing him a bowl. Inuyasha turned his head. "C'mon I know your hungry." Kagome pushed the bowl towards him more.
"Feh." is all he had to say turning his head to look at Kagome. Her eyes flickered with determination and he scenced her aura turning sad when he refused. Inuyasha reached for the bowl and held it in his hands eyeing it closely.
"You know Inuyasha I would take it off your hands for you." Shippo looked cheerful as he finished his bowl of ramen.
"Here you want it." Inuyasha offered it to Shippo. He excitedly jumped up and Inuyasha shoved the ramen into his mouth eating it greedily. Shippo pouted, crossed his arms and sat down. Miroku laughed in a whispy sound.
"You should really be nicer to him Inuyasha." Songo looked caringly at Shippo.
"Well I'm done." Songo grabbed everyone's bowls and began to clean up their delicious dinner. Kagome started to unpack sleeping bags and blankets.
"Inuyasha you could at least help." Kagome argued.
"You know Kagome if I could I would help." Miroku said enthusiastically.
"See look he is eager to help!" Kagome said trying to praise Miroku.
"Feh. Worthless monk. It sounded more like scarcasm to me!" Inuyasha turned his head and threw his chin in the air.
"Nevermind!" Kagome finished her chore and watched while everyone climbed into their sleeping spots. Songo slept close to Miroku 'in case he became any worse.' Shippo snuggled with Kilala.
Kagome slepped off to the side and of course Inuaysha sleped near no one while sitting up. But Inuyasha was the last to fall asleep. Instead he stared at the miko. She seemed so peaceful. He watched through the fire noticing her beautiful face so serene so emotionless. The fire danced around her face and Inuyasha noticed he was not looking at Kagome instead he was looking at the undead priestess, Kikyo. Inuyasha crept closer to Kagome, around the fire and to her side.
"K-Kikyo." he whispered.
Kagome clenched her fist and began to talk in her sleep. "Inuyasha."
"Uh." The clueless hanyou focused on her to see what she was dreaming about.
"Why would you betray me........?"
"Huh?" He moved his head toward her even more.
"For Kikyo?" She whimpered as if she were crying.
"But I didn't." The hanyou moved the sleeping girl into his arms careful not to wake her. The blanket fell down and she shivered. He brushed against her arm reaching for the blanket.
'Her skin is so soft and it looks like ivory.' Inuyasha herd her whimper softly and he held her closer, closing his eyes.
